      Мне кажется порою, что солдаты,

      Не в землю нашу полегли когда-то,
      А превратились в белых журавлей.

      It seems to me at times, that soldiers,
      Who did not return from the blood-stained fields,
      Never lay down in this earth of ours,
      But turned into white cranes.
